Thanks

I have tried this preset, I select a frame that’s good to sample, click set frame and it just goes crazy. I mean the color and brightness shifts more than before. And it’s introduting color artifacts.

Ok, I’ll give this a shot

I have some John Lennon footage I want to restore. I have a 48min NTSC DVD made off a 3/4″ Pal U-matic tape. The video is now 29.9 interlaced even though the original source is 24 frame Progressive film source. This in itself has caused problems, but this thing needs a lot of restoration. It runs off speed, has a lot of video drop-outs. Has serious video/color noise issues, and was transferred mis-framed. I have several RE:Vision plug-ins in After Effects CS3 to use. I have been trying DE:Noise for about a week now, making all kinds of tests and it’s very frustrating to say the least. There are several options to clean the video using the temporal settings. Average, 2 most similar pixels etc. It seems no matter what settings I use, I get severe artifacts. I am first trying to remove the random drop-outs. The drop-outs a mostly a 1 frame damage, but some are on 2-3 frames. I know this plug-in uses the frame before and the frame after to repair. The most logical setting would be 2 most similar pixels and it takes a look before and after and removes the difference. What I get when I use this setting, is some horrible artifacting. I try lowering/raising the settings and no luck. I am not 100% sure what the frame check box is for. But I tried both ways on this setting. It seems the only temporal setting I can use without serious artifacts is the average mode. This really cleans up the video, but makes a 1 frame drop-out last 3 frames now! As this setting averages the 3 frames. I wonder if this is an Interlace issue? Again I have read the manual over and over, tried all the different modes and settings and seem to get this artifacting on each setting except the “Average” mode.

I have some samples of this video and what De:noise does to it in the 2 most similar pixel mode. Any Help/advice would be so appreciated

Jeremy,

I rendered the generated media as Mpeg2. I believe it has something to do with the music or loop aspect. I had the menu hold and no crash. I had the menu loop with no music and it was also fine. But have the menu loop with music and Crash

[Gerald Stokes]

Well,

I figured out the problem. I was using the Studio version and not the Pro version. For some reason, you can open Mpeg’s easy in the Pro version. Just what is going on with the Studio version saying Mpeg is not a usable format I don’t know?

[Gerald Stokes]

I thought of that, then I starting checking out the different kind of envelopes, I wonder if you can apply fx envelopes to different sections of the one audio track?

Douglas,

This capture was done from a DVD(stand-alone) made off the 3/4″ tape over 5 years ago. The original tape is now un-playable :O(

Are you saying Vegas has the tools to make this type of video noise better? I tried Gaus Blur, and it just won’t work. Even the slightest setting on this takes all the life out of the picture. From what I have seen, Vegas has no video noise reduction, and the sharpness control is only for increasing? I tried using Tmpge for noise reduction but it caused artifacting.

Any specific suggestions on the drop-outs you see? they vary throughout the tape. Too many to do frame by frame, so if there is something that can recognize a drop-out and remove it, I would love to have it.
Thanks for taking the time!

Hello Edward,

I thought I had it… I understand that you can change the video velocity envelope to an exact percent. As far as changing the speed of multiple tracks(video&audio) at once, can you please help me with this part: Remember I’m still learning :O)

Drag that VEG file to the timeline of the new project (nested VEG?) Hold down the CTRL key and resize the clip *OR* right-click it and change the “Playback Rate” where you can manually enter an exact percentage

I don’t really understand about dragging the nested Veg file etc

Thanks so much

GS

Thank you!

Thanks for the reply, is this part of Vegas Pro 8? or a plug in
